Lee Jeong-hoo's batting, which was praised by manager Melvin Hitting a ball stronger than a multi-hit

Coach Melvin achieves his first victory at the helm of San Francisco

Correspondent Kim Tae-jong Reporter Jang Hyeon-gu = Manager Bob Melvin, who achieved his first victory as the manager of the MLB San Francisco Giants, not only had Lee Jeong-hoo's multiple hits (two or more hits in a game), but also his last at-bat. I looked closely at the batting speed.

San Francisco achieved its first win of the season by winning 8-3 in a visiting game against the San Diego Padres held at Petco Park in San Diego, California, USA on the 30th (Korean time).

San Francisco, who lost 4-6 to San Diego in the opening game on the mainland the day before, took revenge in one day. Fourth hitter Matt Chapman, who hit two home runs and had five RBIs, was the main contributor to the victory.

Lee Jeong-hoo played as the number one hitter and center fielder, hitting 2 hits in 5 at-bats and also posting an RBI.

In the opening game, he hit his first hit in his big league career, and on this day he recorded his first multiple hit. The day before, he made a sacrifice fly, and that day, he made a clean, timely hit, bringing his RBI down to two days.

The San Francisco team and coach Melvin do not place a question mark on Lee Jeong-hoo's accurate hitting since the exhibition game. Lee Jeong-hoo finished his exhibition game with a batting average of 0.343.

Manager Melvin pointed out in an interview after the game that day, “Lee Jeong-hoo hit multiple hits, but in his last at-bat, he hit a ball that flew hard toward center field.”

Lee Jeong-hoo hit multiple hits in his second big league game

In the top of the 8th inning, Lee Jeong-hoo caught a 151 km/h fastball in the center of San Diego's right-handed reliever Eniel de los Santos as if he was aiming for it, and fired the ball straight toward center field.

Expectations were high for his first long hit in the big leagues, but San Diego center fielder Jackson Merrill caught it near the warning track.

According to MLB Statcast, the speed of this batted ball was 173.77 km/h, the sixth fastest among all batted balls hit by batters from both teams that day.

In the first inning, Lee Jeong-hoo delivered a heavy hit that rolled at an even faster speed of 177 km/h.

Coach Melvin was satisfied with the fact that Lee Jeong-hoo lifted the ball and hit a straight hit that flew at high speed, even though it did not turn out to be a long hit.

One of the most frequently used expressions by coaches and hitters, including big league managers, is 'hit the ball hard.'

Since a strong batted ball soon becomes a hit, extra-base hit, or home run, batters focus on hitting the bat properly as if splitting the ball, considering launch angle, swing angle, etc.

Coach Melvin praised Lee Jeong-hoo, saying, “From the exhibition game held in an unfamiliar environment, Lee Jeong-hoo has been swinging properly even against unfamiliar pitchers he has never seen before,” and added, “Today, he hit as well as he has done so far.”
